We can popup a messagebox when the user tries to change them.

This is an interesting problem btw. On one hand you don't want to
show the 'remove/change' option at all when the user can't change
it anyway. On the other hand you do want to explain to the user
_WHY_ it isn't there. Are there any good solutions for this?
